Coal minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday said that the import of dry fuel which has declined considerably will be stopped by 2024. Speaking at an event at the office of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India here to release a ‘Compendium of Asset Accounts on Mineral and Energy Resources’, the minister said commercial coal mine auction which was institutionalised by the present government has made the auctioning process totally transparent.
Joshi also complemented CAG’s office for bringing out the first ever compendium of asset account on mineral assets of the country.
The minister said that the report presents comprehensive picture of the mineral resources spread across different states in the country.
